I really liked looking under the flaps in this book as my mom opened them for me. I paid attention to most of this book! 👶

It's a good book. No factual inaccuracies that I could find, not that I've studied apiology or spent any time at all cross referencing the book's facts with things from online entomology journals.

The flap aspect kept my bright 6yo engaged, it didn't work so well for my autistic 9yo with communication delays. He initially liked the flaps but there were too many words per flap and page to keep his attention. Despite it being a board book the audience is definitely above toddler level.

A great board book about bees.
